At 5 a.m.made Sail along shore to the South-West, having little wind at East-South-East and Cloudy weather.

After these were gone some others came off from another place with Muscels only, and but few of these they thought proper to part with, thinking they had a right to everything we handed them into their Canoes without making any return.
